HamSphere is delighted to cooperate with Youngsters on the Air (YOTA), a
young peoples movement, in the running of the 2014 European Radio team
Championship (ERTC 2014) due to be held in the city of Virrat, Finland.

HamSphere will provide a framework for this first-ever ERTC competition
in which two-operator teams compete in contacting members of the HS
community as well as each other in pursuit of developing their computer
and communication skills in the spirit of fostering coexistence between
Real and Virtual Amateur Radio.

YOTA 2014 is sponsored by the European Union and the International
Amateur Radio Union.

Each normal correct contact is worth 10 points, and ERTC
stations count for 100 points. The point value is multiplied by the
number of countries contacted on all three (3) bands. Both periods
result in separate multipliers. The final score is the sum of each days
points times multipliers.
